In conjunction with the Programming team, working to conceptualize the perspective and presentation of film programs.
Working to develop and maintain MUBI’s curatorial voice.
In conjunction with the Editorial Managers, ensuring texts are delivered consistently, and that you are hitting regular deadlines, as well as maximizing the team’s writing quality and output.
What you will bring:
